"Apart from rare exceptions... the world of streetwear seems immune to the debate and reflection on environmental sustainability, a gap that can be traced back to the intrinsic nature of the sector and its history. If we think of the most representative brands of this landscape, such as Supreme and Palace, it's their business model that is in complete antithesis to the definition of sustainable." - NSS Magazine
- Palace Skateboards provides minimal information about its supply chain. The brand does not disclose detailed information about the factories it uses or the conditions under which its products are manufactured.
- There is limited information available about Palace Skateboards’ labour policies. The brand does not provide detailed information on whether workers receive fair wages or work in safe conditions.
- The brand does not provide information on eco-friendly production processes or initiatives to reduce carbon footprint.
- Palace Skateboards does not emphasise using sustainable materials such as organic cotton or recycled fibres in its product lines. There is no mention of certifications like GOTS or OEKO-TEX for the materials used in Palace Skateboards’ products.
Palace Skateboards demonstrates significant room for improvement in transparency, ethical labour practices, and environmental sustainability. Palace Skateboards’ frequent collaborations and trendsetting designs cannot offset the lack of commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. Consumers looking for fashion that aligns with their values of sustainability and ethicality may find Palace Skateboards lacking in these crucial areas.
